Patent CA-2550751-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHENG HUNG YU
IPC: B42F13/16
Filed: 2006-06-21
Abstract: A ring binder mechanism for retaining loose-leaf pages has a housing and a pair of hinge plates supported by the housing for pivoting motion relative to the housing. Mounted on each of the hinge plates are ring members which cooperate to form rings for holding the loose-leaf pages. Pivoting motion of the hinge plates causes the ring members to move between a closed position wherein the two ring members form a substantially continuous, closed loop, and an open position wherein the two ring members form a discontinuous, open loop.  A lever is moveable relative to the housing for controlling the pivoting motion of the hinge plates. The lever has a locking position for locking the first and second hinge plates in the closed position. A biasing member engages and biases the lever toward the locking position.

Title: Superoxidant poiser for groundwater and soil treatment with in-situ oxidation-reduction and acidity-basicity adjustment
Inventor: KERFOOT WILLIAM B
IPC: C02F1/78
Filed: 2005-07-19
Abstract: Equipment and process by which an operator can set (or program) a time sequence of coatings of oxygen with increasing oxidation potential for in-situ treatment (chemical reaction) of organic compounds ranging from superoxidation (catalyzed ozone) to reduction conditions involving hydrogen sulfide gas is described. The equipment makes use of oxygen in a combination of gaseous and liquid forms to produce microbubbles of, e.g., different composition of oxygen forms possessing peroxides, superoxides, and hydroperoxides with increasing oxidative potential. The oxidative potential of the reactive mixture can be set to more cost-effectively degrade byproducts of contaminant decomposition without reformulation and reinjection. A secondary advantage comes with in-situ adjustment of pH or acidity/basicity. In other examples, permanganate is delivered by a device that allows delivery of the permanganate and an air-ozone mixture to a soil formation. The permanganate can be delivered as a coating over microbubbles including the air/ozone gas stream.
